I wonder if there is an SW within walking distance of my place? I bet there isnt so I need to get my hands on one of their books.

MrsP - Strumps has hard hands from all that bell ringing so I am sure his slaps will be sharp:eek:

MrsPorridge

Confession time - there's good news and bad.

The good news is I resisted a doughnut yesterday afternoon in the office. The bad news - we couldn't get a seat in the pub it was chock a block with visitors. Our village is dead and I mean dead in the winter and in the summer its overrun with tourists. We ended up going to the nearest town and having a curry! It was absolutely delicious but I dread to think what the calories were. However, I didn't have a pudding there!

Strumps despite your hard hands from all that bell-ringing it may be necessary for you to come all the way down to sunny Cornwall and give my legs a bit of a slap!

Hello All,

I weighed this morning and I stayed the same - so that's not at all good is it? Attempting to get back on track today:

Breakfast - 2 wheetabix and skimmed milk.
Lunch - hm soup plus a WW yoghurt plus a nectarine
Dinner - left over hm chicken curry plus rice

Horace

MrsP..curry:eek: don't you realise how much fat they have in them, they make them with ghee - plus you only need to look at indian ladies to see how much fat they consume as none of them are thin:eek:

I was a bit bad myself as I chomped through chocolate but its all gone now so temptation has been removed. I can eat apples instead.

Must get some dinner out of the freezer - it needs to be stocked up but I shall have to wait until I have some money and the means to get to the butcher (it may have to wait until I have new specs:eek:). I could have a couple of lamb chops, cook up some bol sauce, chicken again:rolleyes: or even thaw out a couple of rib eye steaks (dumb twit that I am froze two together:rolleyes:).

Am sitting here waiting for my new chair to arrive - it will be a blessed relief to have a decent office chair for once.:cool:

My home made curry is low fat though:D

Hi guys,

Well I've had a super weekend although it was marred by a severe cold which has been annoying me big time. I ran out of Vitamin C tablets and it seems to have let the cold in, but I have bought some more now so I'm currently blitzing the cold!!!

Saturday was spent ringing, including a wedding which brought in £15. My friend Garry is struggling for cash at the moment as he has not been able to get a summer job. To be honest I don't think he's looked that hard, but anyway, I have a big hedge in my garden which needed trimming with the shears and I offered him £20 to sort it out for me, an opportunity which he jumped at. So I now have a neatly trimmed hedge and I didn't have to lift a finger either!!! This was money well spent as I HATE doing the hedge and the branches / sap give me a rash on my arms so I avoided that too. My mum always says that money spent to make your life easier, is money well spent! This certainly falls into THAT category!!! I was a little annoyed though that I coooked dinner for him because he does not look after himself. He left ALL the vegetables and just ate the chicken. What a waste. He really needs to eat properly!

Sunday was my uncle's 60th birthday party so I have to admit (Sorry Mrs P) that I was a little naughty foodwise - there were just to many goodly things on the table. But I did do a lot of running around with nephews and neices. My little nephew (aged 3½) is such a cute kid. I was swinging him up and down and he kept losing his trousers so he went up to his mum with hands on hips and said indignantly: "Uncle Simon says I've got a builder's bum!" My sister, who is 8½ months pregnant, laughed so much, we nearly had a early labour on our hands! I am worried about her though as she's a little stressed at the moment. She's moving house on Wednesday and next Monday, she has to have a caesarian as baby No2 is breech! She's not looking forward to this.

And to cap it all, and through no input on my part, I actually achieved an NSD yesterday as well.

Back on the SW eating plan today though!!!

Strumps

PS Horace - I used the coffee mug you gave me and donated the stress ball to my lodger as he obviously needs it big style.

PPS I had such a good time this weekend, I completely forgot that Saturday would have been OH and my 8th anniversary. Who says I'm not getting on with my life eh?!

:T Now that sounds like a GREAT weekend!

Horace

Sounds like a great weekend Strumps despite the cold.

I don't mind you donating the stress ball - I have a stress piggy which I found the other day (its amazing what you find in the carrier bag filing system:rotfl:). Both days were spending days this weekend - Saturday I spent a load of money on a new and much needed office chair (no more backache and neckache for me:j) and now I am waiting in for it as it is going to be delivered anytime between 11am and 2pm today:cool: I also nipped into Aldi and was forced to buy their cheapo loo paper which is a bit scratchy but then I shouldnt really complain as 9 rolls cost £1.94 or something equally silly:rolleyes: Sunday was newspaper buying day - I got the Mail and the Express - both of which will take me at least a week to read:rotfl: I should have bought some milk but didnt so had to get some today, I made some coffee last night and the milk had separated and looked clumpy:eek: (well the expiry date was 30 July:eek:).

Chicken quarter for dinner on Saturday night with a pile of veggies and then had the other quarter cold with some salad for lunch yesterday. I desperately need to go shopping, my list is enormous although I do hope to pick up a few bits on Wednesday as the Farmers Market should be on in Birmingham City Centre and I can pick up some large pasties (they are massive - one can quite easily feed two people) and some nice pies (pastry on top only) as these are made on a local farm from organic home-bred meat:cool: Tonight I am having my last two cheapo but 100% beef burgers that I got from Lidl with some oven chips (probably about 8 chips) peas and maybe a splodge of tomato sauce (on the peas).

Well done on the hedge but your chum does sound like a fusspot if he refuses veg:rolleyes: Good luck to your sister too - am keeping my fingers crossed.

MrsPorridge

Hello Strumpet,

Glad you had such a brilliant weekend. I wished your hedge clipping friend lived close to me - I agree with you its certainly money well spent.

I think when you go to birthday parties you need to forget about dieting - although it sounds like you did plenty of running around to make up for any over-eating.

This will give you all a laugh - I am going to change my weigh day from Monday morning to Friday morning:rotfl::rotfl:I don't think it will make much difference, because it shouldn't matter what day I weigh but psycologically it might just help me to get myself in order (and save the pain of slapped legs).
